rocfft: ppc64el FTBFS workaround (disable HIP client tests)



Hello,

The build failures of rocfft on ppc64el are caused by a crash in clang/LLVM when compiling HIP code. Specifically, compiling HIP client test sources triggers an internal compiler error in the LLVM PowerPC backend during code generation. This is an upstream toolchain issue and not a functional problem in rocfft itself.

The compiler crash has been reported upstream and is tracked in the LLVM issue tracker: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/168727

I tested a targeted workaround on ppc64el by disabling HIP client tests, while keeping the core rocfft library unchanged. With this change, rocfft builds and installs successfully on ppc64el.

Given this, would it be acceptable to apply a targeted workaround that disables HIP client tests on ppc64el, instead of removing the ppc64el binaries at this stage?


Thanks,
Trupti
